Packers release WR Carlyle Holiday

Green Bay - Wide receiver Carlyle Holiday has been released by the Green Bay Packers.

Scheduled to become an exclusive rights free agent, Holiday failed to receive a qualifying offer from the club and thus became a "street" free agent.

Last season, Holiday played five snaps from scrimmage in the first regular-season game but then was placed on the injured-reserve list with a chronic knee problem. He played in the final four games of 2006 for Green Bay, catching nine passes for 126 yards.
